May Island is a small Chinese and Japanese restaurant known for its friendly, quick service and convenient location next to a 7-Eleven. The menu offers a wide variety of appetizers, soups, salads, sushi, sashimi, bento boxes, and Chinese dishes. The sushi lunch specials are delicious—fresh, well-prepared by an experienced sushi chef, and reasonably priced. The Chinese menu items are noticeably fresher and more flavorful than other nearby carry-out options, with favorites like the egg drop soup. While the exterior is low-key, the inside is cozy and nicely appointed, making it a great spot for lunch or an intimate dinner. The service is always cheerful, friendly, efficient, and prompt. This sweet family-owned place may be small and unassuming, but it delivers delicious, beautifully prepared food, even for large catering orders. The sushi is flavor-packed with great texture, and the staff are accommodating and wonderful to work with. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible with no steps.
